The Puppeteer
Sean Malone
You think you've got me on a string
You think for you that i'd do anything
But who's the master in control?
For you i threw this masquerade
You've only seen what i've portrayed
I'm an actor in a complex role
Your silent silhouette
Dances behind a marionette
You feel independent with your own command
But can i show you who's a pendant hanging from my hand
I set up this stage
Wrote the lines on this page
Tell me, who's the puppeteer
I got you hooked on my drug
Predictably smug
Tell me, who's the puppet here
What i show is what you see
I let you in--so you believe
But you have yet to meet my soul
Hypnotized you fall asleep,
Can you hear your shadow speak.
Free thought is what i stole.
Your silent silhouette
Dances behind a marionette
You feel independent with your own command
But can i show you who's a pendant hanging from my hand
I set up this stage
Wrote the lines on this page
Tell me, who's the puppeteer
I got you hooked on my drug
Predictably smug
Tell me, who's the puppet here
I like to play this little game
Where you take a soul and make it tame
Knowing all along that it will never be the same.
I set up this stage
Wrote the lines on this page
Tell me, who's the puppeteer
I got you hooked on my drug
Predictably smug
Tell me, who's the puppet here
